@nottheworstcook welcome!

I saw my pdoc on Thursday-I felt really good after I left. He showed me all my bloodwork and we made a couple med changes. Since my lithium level was at the very bottom of the range it can be in, and it isn't making much of an impact currently, he upped that to 1200 mg/day. I misunderstood my pdoc two sessions ago and thought he wanted me to stop taking risperidone because I was starting lithium but I was actually supposed to keep taking risperidone so I started that up again too. Since I can be pretty sensitive to meds, he wants me to get my lithium level checked again next week to see if/how the increased dose is impacting things.

We also came up with a game plan for my overnight, out of town work commitment coming up (I told him I'm pretty nervous about what to do if my mood acts up while gone). Outside of being able to call during the day, he made sure I have the after hours number. If I need to use the after hours number and it is the other pdoc who is on duty, he told me to just have her reach out to him and he'd call me since my situation is complicated.
